She knows I take meds go to a dr and therapist but truly feels it's all my husband's fault because we live in poverty. If she will get my records how do I prepare her? A mother shouldn't know her daughter was suicidal or my psychosis. How they blamed my break on my parents visiting. Can I just ask her not to read my file? What do I do. I'm very good at hiding the severity of my illness outside T and pnurse office and I don't need that cover blown.
It's against HIPAA policy for her to access your records without your consent. I work in medical records myself and trust me, it wouldn't be in her best interest.
